<BOHEMIANS OF PARIS>: (7) THE PUFFER OF CUSTOMERS: About the word puff! (scans, lies in wait for, cheat's dictionary.) Under the appearance of a simple loafer this individual is dedicated to business in security [watch] chains, hall-marked gold gems; silver pencil-cases and other encumbrances of the public way, he scents the police constable; and when the security of [watch] chains is compromised he clears off wth the shop!
